"I'm not too surprised that Oscar Garcia has left Brighton. He has come up short tactically this season."

BBC Sport's Nabil Hassan at Loftus Road

"Warm-ups done, PA pumping, both sets of fans in fine voice and despite the pre-match rain the pitch is in perfect nick. Atmosphere building nicely here at Loftus Road. 10 minutes until kick off."

Ten minutes from kick-off. Any nervous fans out there?

James Blackwell:, external What changes would I make to the playoffs? MK Dons win one. 3 attempts in 6 years. Never past semis.

Is there ever any excuse for a team being late for an evening kick-off?

BBC Radio 5 live

Pepe Mel is the latest Premier League manager to get the chop.

Over on 5 live's Monday Night Club they are discussing whether it was right for West Brom to axe the Spaniard.

What do you think?

Wigan Evening Post reporter Paul Kendrick, external at Loftus Road: "Not the best preparation for #wafc tonight...team coach very late arriving at Loftus Road because of traffic."

BBC Sport's Ian Woodcock at Bootham Crescent: "No need for forks, brushes or a roller today. Mind you those clouds mean the away fans on the uncovered terrace could be getting another soaking."

Tarron, Exeter: My girlfriend finished her degree today so I suggested going out for a meal to celebrate, totally forgetting Wigan's second leg! Wonder if I'll get away with hiding under the table checking BBC Sport.

Josh from Cambridge: As a Cambridge fan I wouldn't change the play-offs, love the excitement and adrenaline it gives you. Although I would change the system so two teams go up from the Conference into League Two.

England's 23-man squad has the ability to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, former captain Alan Shearer has said.

Shearer said striker Wayne Rooney "needs to have a big tournament for people to speak about him in the same terms as Ronaldo and Messi".

How far do you think England will go in Brazil?

BBC Sport's Ian Woodcock at Bootham Crescent: "As expected both teams stick with the line-ups that would have played on Saturday. That means York City make one change from the side that drew with Scunthorpe last time out, with winger Will Hayhurst coming in for midfielder Lewis Montrose. On-loan Charlton keeper Nick Pope has kept 13 clean sheets in the Minstermen's 17-match unbeaten run.

"It's much more of a changed side for Fleetwood's Cod Army. Mark Roberts, Antonio Sarcevic, David Ball and Iain Hume all come in the starting XI for Graham Alexander's men. Veteran striker Jon Parkin drops to the bench."

Former Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe says he is "devastated" to miss out on Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad. The 31-year-old, who moved to Major League Soccer club Toronto FC at the end of February, tells BBC Radio 5 live: "It's hard to even find words to describe how I am feeling.

"I felt I had done enough. I feel sharper than ever and I have been on form and scored goals. To miss out, I feel devastated. I didn't really feel I had to sell myself to the manager.

"I had a situation at the 2012 Euros where I lost my dad and I had decision to make. But I chose to go back out to Poland and Ukraine because I know how important it is to play for your country."

BBC Sport's Nabil Hassan at Loftus Road

"Pre-match sunshine has made way for torrential rain and showers but that can't dampen the spirit of the QPR fans who arrive at Loftus Road tonight full of expectancy.

"Their star-studded squad is just one victory away from a trip to Wembley to take on Derby in the play-off final. Wigan however, will be confident and having played four times at the home of English football in two seasons it will hold no fears for Uwe Rosler's side if they can get there. To do that though they must beat QPR for the first time this season having lost one and drawn the other."

There may be no York, Fleetwood, QPR or Wigan players in the mixer but I'm sure it's just about still of interest: England have named their World Cup squad.

Ross Barkley and Luke Shaw head the headlines as Roy Hodgson steered clear of any Theo Walcott-style shenanigans.

Here's the full squad:

Goalkeepers: Fraser Forster (Celtic), Ben Foster (West Bromwich Albion), Joe Hart (Manchester City).

Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Luke Shaw (Southampton), Chris Smalling (Manchester United).

Midfielders: Ross Barkley (Everton), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Adam Lallana (Southampton), Frank Lampard (Chelsea), James Milner (Manchester City), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal), Raheem Sterling (Liverpool), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal).

Attackers: Rickie Lambert (Southampton), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool), Danny Welbeck (Manchester United).

jamois:, external How is it, in the biggest match of the season, Harry plays a team & formation unplayed and untested all season?

York: Pope, Oyebanjo, Lowe, McCombe, Davies, Brobbel, Penn, Reed, Hayhurst, Coulson, Andrew. Subs: McGurk, Jarvis, Montrose, Platt, Bowman, Allan, Ingham.

BBC Sport's Nabil Hassan at Loftus Road

"Loftus Road is the setting as QPR and Wigan do battle as they bid to bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt. They now know that Derby will be their opponents at Wembley in the play-off final with the second-leg of this tie evenly poised at 0-0.

"History is against Rangers though and they are aiming to break a 16-year hoodoo by winning the Championship play-offs. The side finishing fourth in the second tier has not won promotion to the Premier League since Charlton in 1997-98 but with home advantage QPR's star-studded squad will be confident of reaching Wembley and ending that statistic."

QPR: Green, Simpson, Onuoha, Dunne, Hill, Hoilett, Barton, O'Neil, Kranjcar, Doyle, Austin. Subs: Morrison, Yun, Hughes, Henry, Zamora, Murphy, Benayoun.

Wigan: Carson, Boyce, Caldwell, Kiernan, Gomez, Perch, McArthur, Beausejour, McManaman, McClean, Maloney. Subs: Crainey, Espinoza, Barnett, Al Habsi, Maynard, Waghorn, Collison.

Referee: Mark Clattenburg (Tyne & Wear)

Wigan may be 90 minutes away from another trip to Wembley, but their two visits so far this season have not gone to plan.

In August they were beaten in the Community Shield in what will go down as a pub quiz question for the ages - David Moyes' sole trophy as manager of Manchester United.

Then just last month they went all the way to spot-kicks before being beaten in the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal.
